Access to Top Talent
Engage directly with Africa's brightest AI developers, data scientists, and problem solvers. The Hackathon attracts pre-screened, high-potential innovators from across all 16 SADC Member States — your next hire, co-founder, or portfolio company founder is in the room.
Amplify your presence across our website, social media channels, newsletters, and live event coverage. Your brand will be positioned alongside SADC governments, global tech companies, and Africa's most compelling AI innovations — in front of ministerial, investor, and media audiences.
Define your own challenge brief and inspire impactful AI solutions tailored to your business needs and the African market. Partners gain first right of refusal to license, acquire, or co-develop solutions built on their challenge — creating a proprietary innovation pipeline at a fraction of internal R&D cost.
